Beschreibung

'The Fire Still Burns' is a story of post-punk adventure, packed full of anecdotes, inspiration and tales from the road with an insightful narrative on what keeps over eighty bands plugging away, gigging, touring, recording and playing in a rough and ready scene. With a brief history of the independent, alternative label, Engineer Records, and input from many of it's bands. You'll read about Canaan and Crosstide, Fat Heaven and Flyswatter, Kid You Not, Kover and Kyoto Drive, as well as many more. A follow-up to 2023's 'A Hardcore Heart' and a must-read for all tuned-in punk-rockers and hardcore kids, especially if they're forming a new band. "The story of people finding their own voice and doing something because they believe in it." - Fear and Loathing "These stories will occupy your attention and hopefully inspire you to start your own band." - Thoughts Words Action "Intelligently written, Imbued with an excitable fervour; this will speak to anyone who has spent time immersed in the DIY punk scene." - Personal Punk "A love letter to the intoxicating joy of music, the enduring power of friendship, loyalty and the overwhelming desire to create something from nothing." - Mass Movement
